It is so easy now! by Barbora Misakova

There are many things that “fascinate” me in politics. Many of them I have already mentioned. For example so called political honesty, making promises that will never be fulfilled, and constant threat of losing voters and supporters that all lead to creation of something what I call “pure politician” – liar desperately longing for power. Of course not every politician is a liar, just like not every blond is stupid, but those whose have already tasted power are liars, at least a bit. Now, when Thursday’s UK general elections resulted in a hung parliament where no party has overall majority, I just have to laugh. Liberal Democrats and Conse! rvatives have to lead power-sharing talks what is not as funny as the statement of Conservative negotiator William Hague who said Sunday that talks were very positive and productive. United Kingdom had quite serious problem with budget deficit few days ago, and now they seem to be solved? It’s ridiculous! They have met only once – for more than five hours, and they claim they have had “productive discussions over many key policy areas.”? In five hours they were able to discuss all topics that worried UK last days. Political reform, economic issues and the reduction of the deficit, banking reform, civil liberties, and environmental issues – all these so serious topic were discussed in few hours. Even though they plan to meet again within 24 hours to continue discussions, they have allegedly already agreed that “a central part of any agreement will be economic stability and a reduction of the budget deficit.” This leads me to another ! aspect of policy: when you are already in, any kind of decisio! n is sud denly so easy to make.
